Kardigan
Kardigan is a heart health company working to make cardiovascular disease preventable, curable and no longer the leading cause of death in the world. It is Kardigan’s mission to develop multiple targeted treatments in parallel that bring people with cardiovascular diseases to the cures they deserve.
Led by Tassos Giannakakos, Jay Edelberg, M.D. and Bob McDowell, Ph.D., Kardigan’s co‑founders have reunited after leading MyoKardia to discover and develop mavacamten, the first cardiac myosin inhibitor, resulting in an acquisition by Bristol Myers Squibb in 2020.
We have a cutting‑edge discovery and translational research platform, a pipeline of late‑stage candidates, and an industry‑leading team that is driven to improve the lives of patients.
We are motivated by our values which guide how we work, interact, and achieve our goals:
Driven by patients and their families , we are deeply committed to improving the lives of patients and prioritizing their needs above all else.
Being authentic —leading with truth to bring out the best in others by creating an environment where every person knows they will be fully accepted.
Eagerness to learn —we encourage the highest levels of curiosity and are open to changing our minds.
Winning as a team
with urgency, excellence, and intention, and we support each other no matter what role we play or where we sit.
Enabling the impossible —we take risks to unlock innovation and advance scientific discoveries.
These values are the foundation of our work, empowering us to make a real difference every day.
